title: [Rare tumor of the stomach: leiomyoblastoma].
abstract: The Authors report a case of gastric leiomyoblastoma presenting a dyspeptic and painful symptomatology and microcytic hyposideremic anaemia. The patient underwent elsewhere gastric resection and was discharged with the diagnosis of "gastric leiomyoma characterized by bizarre cells". After a review of the literature, the Authors emphasize the anatomo-pathological and clinical aspects pointing out the diagnostic difficulties in this malignancy. The correct treatment is based on predicted factors of malignancy.
